Ex.2. Translate the following extracts; pay attention to the types of dwellings mentioned in them. Find adequate Russian words to render the meaning correctly. Consult the vocabulary list above.
1. Houses or flats? Every New Town has to face this problem. It was accepted that some proportion of the dwelling to be built should take the form of flats; but what should the proportion be? Some attempts had been made to assess the probable dimensions of the demand for flats. There are certain categories of tenants who are likely to prefer a flat and not want to be bothered with gardening: unmarried people of either sex, and the elderly or infirm; but the majority are clear that what they want is a house and garden. A little guidance was also forthcoming from the sociologists. A young couple should start their married life in a flat.
2. In many parts of England cottages are built in a long new, each house joined to the next one and each with a small yard at the back, and a still smaller one at the front.
3. American apartments are usually described as one-bedroom (studio apartments) two-bedroom or three-bedroom apartments. Two- and three-room apartments usually have a connecting living room; frequently they have two bathrooms.
There are two types of apartments: a rented apartment and a condominium, which an individual owns rather than rents. In addition there are tow-houses which are joint houses or apartments in a compact planned group in a town.
4. A mobile home is the cheapest form of housing that can be purchased. Mobile homes can be moved from place to place by trucks. Mobile homes are located in special mobile home parks, which are sometimes called mobile villages. They are usually on the outskirts of cities. Retired people and young people with low income reside in mobile homes which can be purchased or rented.
